When I saw the Hyundai i20 Asta I was really surprised to see a car from Hyundai with so much of show and style on it. Looking at its front view, one can easily think that this car is a new sedan or a luxury car from Hyundai. The car contains genuine muscle on its bonnet or on the sidelining of the car. The entire car has been painted in one color making it look stylized and classy. Hyundai have always come up with innovative designs and Hyundai i20 is likewise. The car has got charisma of itself and also it has this nice grace that you get looking its side view. The car is a bit stretched which one can get an idea why it is an inspired version of the Hyundai Getz. The car color scheme too is very versatile. The car features its Hyundai logo on the front and back as well. The rear of the car has multi-reflectors, which are designed keeping in mind its urban look. The hood on the other hand is a little curvy making the car spacious from inside.

Coming to the boot, you will get ample space, to really keep all the goods and heavy luggage. It’s a swift ride to the nearby mall and stuff all your grocery and other items in the car.

The climate control, the integrated music systems and the efficient electronics that is placed on the steering wheel are some basic important features that make the Hyundai i20 Asta AT such a success.

Performance:
The Hyundai i20 Asta AT has basically a 1.4L engine which is really great amount of power for a family car. The car is gives you quick acceleration and crisp pick up due to its 100PS power. The car has got the muscle in its engine to go far off distances with not much of a fuss. The 1.4L Gamma, VTVT technology is the new thing from Hyundai which makes this car so much powerful and efficient. This car is provides 13.9 kgm of torque with a 4200 rpm. Hyundai engines are really refined which makes the ride enjoyable. The car is really crispy and you do touch speeds at around 150-160kmph.

The mileage on the other hand that has been observed is humble 11.5kmpl in city while on highways its 15.0kmpl.This is mainly because its 4 speed automatic transmission. Probably one more gear shift would have made the difference. The car would have been speedier as one more gear would give the car the right calibration. At an engine configuration of 1396cc displacement, 100Ps you would definitely feel the need of an automatic fifth gear in the gearbox.

The engine maintenance is one small issue, the car is not smooth as it does make some noise which you can hear sitting in the car cabin. The car suspension on the other hand too is soggy and you would like to have better springs under your seats. This one area should be rightly paid attention to.

Overview:
As a total performer, this car is really a favorite but for the engine. The engine should be more refined. Taking a look at the overall picture, the car does prove to be at the costlier side as well, but again no one has so many options especially with gearbox transmissions, features, sunroofs etc. The variety of facilities that the Hyundai i20 Asta provides is very good and really good value for money. Although the spares and sales part of it can be pretty costly at the end. Having said that, Hyundai offers good after sale service to the customers and they really look after your car well in their service centers. Priced at around 5, 75,000 this car is a good deal at the end of the story and really a complete package.
